About this Event
Voted Best Charity Event 2025 by Inland Empire Magazine. Purchase your tickets before they sell out!
Join the Children's Foundation of America for our 5th annual ChariTea Fundraiser presented by Claremont Lincoln University.
Over 400,000 children are in foster care each year due to circumstances beyond their control. These children have faced trauma, abuse, and neglect, and continue to endure challenges participating with their peers in everyday activities and accessing educational resources. Make a difference in their lives by attending this special fundraising event. Proceeds benefit scholarships, mental health programs, transitional housing, quality foster care services, and grants for children in need.
Come with us to an exciting tea party under the big top, complete with delicious treats, entertainment, and activities. Guests will gather at Granite Creek Gardens in Claremont for a tea luncheon including a variety of finger sandwiches, an assortment of hors d'oeuvres, pastries, and a selection of teas. There will be photo opportunities, a silent auction, artisan vendor booths, and a complimentary swag bag provided.

Guests are encouraged to dress in garden tea party attire inspired by our vintage circus theme.
A Vintage Circus Experience!
To help celebrate our 20th Anniversary of the Children's Foundation of America, we've been busy curating a special experience for our guests. This year's ChariTea will be bigger and more exciting than ever! We are pleased to welcome a local magician and a juggler to entertain our guests. Tea service will begin shortly after noon, but be sure to arrive early - the fun starts at 11:30. We will have a garden area filled with artisan vendors displaying their wares, including jewelry, paper crafts, mixed media assemblage, and more!
